The anonymous grouping of Intrusion Truth continues to deanonymize Chinese “government hackers.” This time, the data on the alleged members of APT17 were made public.
Hacker Wars: Deanonimization of Government Cyber Specialists
This is the third time Intrusion Truth publishes its revelations and deanonymizes the participants of Chinese cyberspy groups. Thus, in 2018, the personal data of three citizens of the PRC, who allegedly were members of APT10 and worked for the Ministry of State Security of the PRC, were made public. And even earlier, in 2017, several members of APT3 were subjected to doxing. Interestingly, each time shortly after the publication of publications, the US Department of Justice charged several members of these cyber espionage groups.
Evidence of Government Involvement
Now Intrusion Truth has published information about three individuals who are allegedly related to the APT17 group (it’s also DeputyDog, Tailgater Team, Hidden Lynx, Voho, Group 72 and AuroraPanda). This group is known for a series of cyber attacks, mostly taking place in the early 2010s. Then, hacker targets were everything from private companies to government agencies in countries around the world. I also remind you that it is APT17 that is associated with the compromise of the CCleaner application that occurred in 2017.
The new Intrusion Truth data concerns a person who manages four Chinese companies who are allegedly officers of the Ministry of State Security of China, as well as two more hackers who worked for these companies. All of them are based in Jinan City, the capital of Shandong Province.
The Cyber Espionage Saga: Unmasking APT17 in the Intrusion Truth Chronicles
In the world of cybersecurity, the battle between hackers and their adversaries is a never-ending saga. Among the most enigmatic and formidable players is APT17, a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group with a reputation for sophisticated cyber espionage operations. However, in recent years, a new protagonist has emerged on the scene to challenge APT17’s anonymity and unveil their clandestine activities: the Intrusion Truth Group.
The Intrusion Truth Chronicles are a series of revelations that have sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity community. They have been instrumental in exposing the identities and affiliations of APT17 members, lifting the veil of anonymity that had shrouded them in secrecy for years.

This ongoing saga raises critical questions about the evolving nature of cyber warfare and the ethical boundaries that state-sponsored hacking groups often cross. The relentless pursuit of truth by entities like Intrusion Truth serves as a stark reminder that the world of cybersecurity is a complex and constantly evolving landscape, where anonymity can be shattered and secrets exposed, leading to a better understanding of the digital threats that nations and organizations face.
